If you have ever smoked weed when you are drunk you will probably be familiar with the phrase 'greening out', this essentially means your head is spinning and you feel like you want to puke. Some enjoy the combination, known as 'crossfading' and others try to keep the weed and booze separate, most of the time if you smoke weed before you drink you don't feel so bad but if you toke when you're 'three sheets to the wind' you could be in trouble.
Spin Out
Weed on it's own won't kill you but drinking too much when you're high can give you alcohol poisoning, marijuana has an antiemetic effect, meaning that it makes it more difficult for the body to vomit, which is how the body gets rid of booze.
Pass Out
Alcohol in the blood can also make the body absorb THC faster and can cause anxiety and paranoia if a person is unprepared, they may also be more prone to accidents, poor judgement and memory loss. The effects of booze and weed are different for everybody but it is important to be aware of the consequences of mixing the two.
Family Tree
Hops used to brew beer are part of the Cannabaceae family, the only sibling to marijuana. Hops contain alpha and beta acids and a variety of aromatic oils depending on various growing conditions. Hops also have male and female plants, males being of no real use for brewing.
I don't drink as often as I did a few years ago because I don't like the effect alcohol has when i'm stoned but I do like a nice beer once in a while and when I go to the pub I usually leave the weed at home. It also occurred to me that certain types of weed may have different effects when mixed with alcohol, or maybe some beers are better than others? If anyone has any thoughts on this please let me know in the comments
